I personally prefer the bare butt look. Here's a pic of my car (on the right) debadged, and another 986 on the left with the Boxster emblem on the trunklid. I think the badge breaks up the smooth lines of the car, and makes it look busy. The matching painted bumperettes helps to clean up the look too, IMO.

Good point..it could just be the angle but the non badged one seems wider.

I de-badged my 02 S and am in the process of painting the bumperettes sometime....
I love the clean look as well.

I prefer the badged look. Especially if you have an S.

Nice. I have always been a big fan of the Porsche Oxster - you don't see too many of those.

hahaah, yeah, i still have that badge too.
actually the whole B is there, but the bottom part of the B that extends was missing, and it must have stayed like that for a long time since the sun baked the rest of the car and not under the badge.
and as for buffing it, its not that outline is there from glue or soemthing, but actually colors are different. it CLEARLY says boxster with darker shade of green. i will snap a pic and show, it looks liek it broke off when the guy got it, and stayed like that untill i got the car. so when i took it off its like a ghost shade badge....

De-Badged "Rockster"
About 2 months ago, I was drying my car and it magically transformed from a "Boxster" into a "Roxster." Tonight, after a Monster, I decided to grab some floss, headed to the garage and de-badged the Roxster. I'm now a fan of the clean, under-stated look.

I am needing to find the time to go through this process too as I accidentally turned my car into a "Poxster" a few weeks ago whenI broke off part of the badge during a wax job.

Although I think Mercs and BMW look good sans badging,
Ferraris and Porsches look funny to me without their front and rear badges.
